As Futurama's Professor Hubert Farnsworth usually says: "Good news everyone...". Apple introduced today its upcoming 64-bit enhanced Tiger operating system due in the first quarter of 2005. Click in for our report from today's WWDC opening which includes 18 pictures of the event.

"well the $ deal is especially an issue when you realize that there's so much software you have to give up. You get a nice OS and nice hardware but at a big sacrifice. All the directx games, the heavy duty business apps, viruses, etc (hehehe). That's why I'd much rather see Haiku, Syllable or SkyOS succeed so I can always reboot to use Windows."
Your local CompUSA has a whole aisle dedicated to Mac games, I think even CoD will play on a Mac; seriously the games argument is getting old guys.
And for those who need Windows and money does not hold them back, buy a virtual machine. There are some very popular ones that will allow you to run Windows inside of OS X. I think there is also the ability to run Windows apps without the whole OS up.
If I could afford a Mac I'd buy one, but I can barely afford a $600 PC. Once I'm out of college.... And to who says he could build a top of the line AMD/Intel for $600, you might look at the price on Intel and AMD's top chips:
P4EE
Xeon
Opteron
Athlon FX
I believe all of them run $600 and up, that's just the chip.
